The new version of this character and Hans Journey stars David Corenswet as MAN of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, among others.
It’s directed by James Gunn.
This is the official synopsis:
When Superman is drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving the technical billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get Man of Steel out of the way for good. Will the dishonest reporter Lois Lane and Superman’s four -legged companion, Krypto, be able to help him before it’s too late?
As for what critics say about the new Superman?
We’ve compiled a number of Superman reviews below to help you decide if this hopeful blockbuster is worth your time and/or your money when they are released on July 11 …
Easy the best superman movie made in my lifetime. – Matt Singer, Screen Crush
It lacks the top level of the superhero cinema. I would characterize the movie as good at the next level (a list that includes Iron Man, Thor, Batman Begins, Captain America and the hugely underrated Iron Man 3). – Owen Gleiberman, Variety
So far, this has been the century of the cartoon movie, and … while Superman is not one of the best films of the 21st century, it represents the genre well. – Scott Phillips, Forbes
Gunn and his team deliver a Superman movie that feels worthy of the character’s inheritance. – Danielle Solzman, Solzy in the movies
This is not your grandparents’ Superman, but it is also more true in the method of his on-side adventure than something we have seen on theater screens so far. – Track Sauveur, Awardwatch
A breath of fresh air … In an era saturated with dark anti-heroes, Superman is refreshingly idealistic-not in a saccharin way, but in a way that feels rebellious, even radical. – Jamie Broadnax, Black Girl Nerds
Perhaps the greatest strength is that it equates all the revisionist grumble of superheroes on screen in the last decade or two and almost returns to an enchanting state of children -like wonder. – David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
What makes Superman work is the same thing that has made Gunn’s other adaptations so loved: As a filmmaker, Gunn is not afraid to embrace the cartoon elements in the heart of the source material. – Spencer Perry, ComicBook.com
Like opening a random topic in your local cartoon shop, Superman falls right into the action and expects the audience to be already familiar with the characters and the world. – Sheraz Farooqi, Cinema Debate
As both a story on your own and a prequel to a whole bunch of others, this movie will introduce us to a number of characters we meet later, and it does without feeling too much as a fan service or exposure. – Amber Wilkinson, New York Times
A Superman movie lives or dies by chemistry between Clark and Lois – and this one works definitely … their quarrel crushes, and their emotional connections ring. – Danielle Solzman, Solzy in the movies
